RISHAB SHTTY SAYS AUDEINCES WANT TO WATCH DESI STORIES
Rishab feels that audiences resonated with Kantara as it showcases the connection between nature and humans through folklore. In his interaction with Zoom Digital he opined, “The people of India are sentimental. They love stories rooted in our culture and ethos. Filmmakers elsewhere thought that such desi stories will not work and they should make something with more western sensibilities, films that are more commercial in nature. However, audience kuch aur hi soch rahi hai (is thinking something else). They want grounded, rooted, regional village, realistic stories on the silver screen.” Also Read – Kantara Hindi Box Office Collection Day 4: First Monday Bigger Than Friday For Rishabh Shetty’s Film, Check Day-Wise Breakup Report
